Two men were robbed at gunpoint as they met with a third man Monday night in the Walmart parking lot in Summerfield.

The men did not specify why they were meeting the third man, only known as “Jesse,” at just before 10:30 p.m. but said the man wanted to have the pair drive him to another location in the same parking lot, according to Marion County Sheriff’s Office reports.

When the two men protested, “Jesse” jumped into the backseat of the car and a fourth man also got into the car. The men in the back reportedly pulled handguns and put them to the heads of the men in the front seat and demanded money, reports state.

After taking $200 in cash and the men’s cellphones, the two gunmen got out of the car and ran away, according to reports.

Anyone with information about the case can call the Sheriff’s Office at 732-9111 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP.
